There is new pictures in my page, how bad door gets shot by elephant gun. When nails are shotted (welded) on, you just take special hammer and lock it to nail and start striking backwards. There was that nice secure beam inside the door, so it was impossible to bend from inside, second best thing was that elephant gun. Actually it worked really good.

Excellent project car and a wise choice as an investment. I have done a considerable amount of work on my 72 Cuda including cowl and firewall replacement and unfortunately at the end of the day, its still a 72 Cuda.   :banghead:    Is still a great experience and a lot of DIY satisfaction you know. Good luck, with it!

I  take some pics of my new parts as soon as they arrive. I havent done very much in this summer because lack of parts. My dealer made a scam, I waited several months (7) for my sheet metal to arrive, and now he doesnt even answer his cell anymore, way to go. I have heard several people stated him as a crock, I didnt believe and I lost my time because of him.

Now I have a real dealer who runs his own bisnes, sounds better allready. Alltought Im thinking new channels to ship my parts to Finland.

Since it was not yesterday I removed all window hardware, it took a little time from me to discover all the parts again for window assembly :wave:
